TheSentinelBot (TSB) is permanently shutting down. Unfortunately we are no longer able to maintain the TSB project mainly due to Google restricting our API usage and also due to a lack of developer and system resources. We've submitted requests to Google for raising the rate limit on our API key, however those have been denied. As such, we will soon be shutting down all our TSB bots indefinitely. If you'd like to export any of your data, please reach out to us in our Discord. Thank you for using TSB up until now.

Layer 7 Solutions - Privacy Policy

Modified: March 5th, 2022.
Effective: March 5th, 2022.

Layer 7 Solutions, LLC ("Layer 7 Solutions", "Layer7.Solutions", "us", "we", or "our") operates our website, software, and services ("Service", "Services"). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding how we collect, use, and handle your information

Changes from the Previous Version (May 26th, 2018)

We did a complete review to make sure it reflects our current standing. We've added sections about usage of our Discord bots.

Infrastructure

Our infrastructure consists of two physical servers with multiple Virtual Machines that are co-location hosted in a GleSYS AB datacenter in Sweden where they have many security practices in place to ensure the physical and digital security of our infrastructure. In addition, we have a limited list of those who are allowed physical access to our servers, and we require SSH keys along with limiting the number of staff who can remotely access the servers. We even further limit the number of staff who can access the user data stored on our servers.

What and Why

On Discord Communities employing our bots

Our Discord bots, unless otherwise specified, use the same codebase and fall under this same umbrella of information collected. This information is intended to be the minimum needed for the Discord server moderation teams to be able to moderate their communities. If any text content is saved, it is encrypted at rest.

  • Note, Warn, Mute, Kick, Ban: We store the text of the content that a moderator specifically enters. This is so the moderators can recall that information for the purpose of moderation.
  • Message ID, Channel ID, User, Server: No personal information is stored. This meta data helps us with various analytics and connects with other features.
  • Mod Mail - Channel ID, User Channel ID, User, Message ID, Server ID: No personal information is stored. This meta data helps us with various analytics and connects with other features.
  • Reminder - User, Remind Text: We have to and only store the text you specify so that we can remind you about it later on.
  • Server Name: This is so we can show the friendly server name when you use our website.
  • Tags - Tag Name, Tag Content: We only store the text you specify so that we can recall and show that information to users when they use that tag.
  • Deleted & Edited Messages - Message Content: If you edit or delete a message, the content of that message is posted to a Discord channel, if the moderators chose to setup this feature. This is meant so moderators are better equipped at keeping their community safe. You can request that this data is removed my reaching out to that Discord communities staff.
  • Username, Nickname, & Profile Pictures: If the Discord community staff chose to enable this feature, the bot will record in a Discord channel this content for purpose of moderation. You can request that this data is removed my reaching out to that Discord communities staff.

The information is only shared with the intended, limited recipient. Meaning, information collected for the purpose of moderation is only shared with that Discord communities moderation team, which is determined based on the users' permission in the server. The content inputted while using the reminder command is only shared with the person the reminder is for. The content inputted for a Tag command is meant to be public and freely visible by anyone who can send messages in the server.

We do not share any of this information with third parties, unless otherwise required by law. We do not share this information with users if they would normally not have access to it. If you'd like to request that your information be removed, please message "D0cR3d#0001 (82942340309716992)" on Discord.

On subreddits employing our bots

As a baseline, when our Reddit bots are added as moderator we will begin recording all posts and comments made to the subreddit. This includes body, title, author, time posted, the unique identifier of the post, a permalink to the post/comment, any flair attributed to the post, and the outgoing URL of link posts.

TheSentinelBot has several modules that may be enabled or disabled at will of the mod team through the settings pages of our website. Should features be enabled, additional data will be collected in order to provide the service that was enabled.

The following information has been retained as part of previous service offerings, many of which have been disabled. We are in the process of identifying the information that is no longer being used so that we can permanently remove it from our storage.

  • The collection of posts and comments title, message content, author name
  • Subreddits using Repost Sentinel would have posts title, media link, author name, and hash of media
